dietrick is one of the best teacher's i've had! he's intelligent, open-minded, and poses thought provoking questions. the class is by far my favorite and he's also my favorite teacher.

Great class. He cracks me up and appreciates well thought discussion. People who like to argue ideas will love it.

Very interesting class, not too hard if you read your stuff.

very very good teacher. the class is however too hard to be a gen ed. requirement. he requires too much time out of a general class.

Great guy but really technical on the topic. It is a stretch for a gen ed class

He is a great teacher. The class is really interesting and if you study your notes you can make a good grade. Not many assignments, in fact, really only one paper. He is very fair on grading and does curve. PLus he is pretty humorous.

AMazing class just do your reading. Hes great to get to know.

Excellent professor. The class is interesting and it is easy to pay attention to him. Take this class if you want an easy B...if you want an A you will have to study a little harder.

Do not take this class lightly. It has the potential to kick you right in the face. Very few are able to crawl away with an "A" Good Luck.

Deitrick is really cool, and is not that hard if you take him seriously.

Dietrick is the most self submerged jerk I have ever had to listen to for 50 min. 3 days a week. Aside from that, he is very intelligent and his classes are really interesting. Easy B Slightly Hard A

He's a good teacher and humorous also. I recommend his class, but be prepared to work for an 'A'. I've had him for three different courses and I would take him again.

He is self-absorbed and egotistical. Despite this, it is an interesting class and he knows what he is talking about. He can recall this stuff from memory without much thought. Good class....as others stated.....if you want an A....work. Don't come into this class close minded or with any preconceived notions about other faith structures....you will not get as much out of the class and it will become more difficult for you.

He may be a little self-absorbed, but he is a good teacher. He knows his stuff, and he expects you to as well. Do not go in looking for an easy A because it won't happen. I got an A in the class, but I had to study for it. I believe that he spends to much time on Eastern religions, and it would be nice to hear more about Christianity and Judaism.

Deitrick is very misunderstood by people who arent in the field, it seems. He's hilarious and smart. What is most significant about him, perhaps, is that you may THINK he is giving his opinion about something or a religion, but he actually keeps those things to himself. I had three or four classes with him. Great guy.

pretty easy class if you can get past his trying to not be biased. be sure and staple your religious visit paper, it dropped my final grade a letter.

An excellent professor. You do have to study but well worth it.

It's only the conservative religious freaks who have a hard time with him. He's great. He encourages you to think about religions in ways you've never imagined. If you want to think critically about religion, this is the place to do it.

I was very anxious to start this class, and I've yet to be disappointed. Despite what others have said, I believe Deitrick is a very open-minded, intelligent, and dedicated professor. He doesn't rely on text, rather he focuses on experience. I would take a class of his every year if I could. It's easy if you show interest.

Mr. Deitrick is a very nice guy once you get to know him. Don't take anything he says personally and you should do fine in this class, even if you have strong beliefs of your own. Workload is not heavy but you need to study if you want an A. Overall great class! =)

Dr. D is awesome--very down to earth. We had to write a couple of papers, go on a visit to observe a religious service of our choice, and had to keep an internet blog. All the tests come mainly from bolded and italicized terms in textbook. Read Chapter and come to class...easy A.

This class is fairly easy if you read the assigned readings, go to class, and take notes. There wasn't much classwork, but there is A Lot of reading. He's really nice though and I always enjoy the class. He encourages class participation and is always welcoming out thoughts and opinions.

Great guy. He will make you THINK!!

The fact is, people want to complain that he is too difficult, or too opinionated, or too in-depth. Well, he teaches religion. You get what you sign up for- it's not easy to understand a broad scope of religious faiths.he's one of he least openly opinionated (he just tries SUPER hard to get you to challenge your beliefs) and best teachers i've had.

I loved this class. I am not religious in any way but I loved learning about it. All of his test are online but that is a good thing, all you have to read and then take the test, you won't get less then a B. He is a really cool guy, I should mention that he is pretty critical on the writing assignment so work really hard on it.

Very intellegant and even still a teenager in some ways. He's easy to approach and will try and help you if you get behind, just keep in touch. He's the expert in Buddhism in that school!

I still do not know what he believes, but I do know he believes in something. He doesnt teach. He bashes every religion out there. Overall, he is a very easy tacher! Not much work and all the test are straight from the book and offline. He doesnt believe in finals but he with give you a quiz for your final. His class sucks but its an EASY A

Dr. Deitrick is AWESOME! I was really nervous about taking his class, but now I love it. You just have to be open minded. You can't allow yourself to be offended by him. Most of the time he is just taking on a character anyway. It's a fun, interactive class. The only way it can be hard is if you make it that way. He just shows you a whole new way of thinking about things. I would recommend this class to everyone! He is a great professor. He's very humorous too! Take the class. Enjoy the class.

if your easily offended do not take this class. he is very objective teacher, i learned a lot in his classes 3 essays is the only assignments 1 in the beginning 1 midterm 1 final. take him!

Class seems like it will be interesting but often seems to go on for too long. He often lingers on certain topics and repeats what has already been said. However, I did enjoy the class, it is very easy and he is an extremely nice, pleasant, and helpful guy!!! He will do anything he can to help you with something if you just ask.

Overall I enjoyed the class. The book we used this semester sucked, but he is using a different book next semester. The papers are the biggest part of your grade. Do good on those and you will do fine in the class. He is very helpful and understanding as long as you talk to him. Not a bad class!!

I took World Religions. You'll have two papers and online quizzes. Just keep up with the book and take light notes in the class. He likes to go on tangents but he's a great teacher. Ask questions and make an effort. If you show up and show an interest, he'll be inclined to give you a good grade. Keep an open mind or you won't enjoy the class at all

This was an excellent course. Dr. Deitrick is absolutely THE professor to take for this course. He is very objective when it comes to his views/students views on religion. The class is discussion based and I learned to be more open minded concerning other religions. I have not changed my personal views, but I have learned to not be so judgmental.

An excellent class. Dr. Deitrick is THE professor to take for this course. He is very objective concerning his views/students views. I learned to be more open minded with regards to other religions. I never felt threatened concerning my personal beliefs. The class is discussion based and will challenge your thinking. Great class!

He is a good professor. Just keep up on the reading and you'll do fine. Makes the class entertaining and generally cares about your well being. Thinking required and don't get butt hurt

Deitrick is a good professor. I knew from the minute I stepped in his class I would enjoy it and him. Lectures are a little long and boring at times but not too bad. He enjoys when students get involved. I have never had a problem with him and would definitely take him again.

Dr. Deitrick is a friendly, engaging professor who makes an effort to be there for his students. He encourages you to come at the class with an open mind and minimize your bias, but I think he could do a little better at minimizing his own bias. The class itself is not difficult; just do the homework, go to class, and put effort into your writing

If you don't have thick religious skin, Dr. D will probably get to you. He says the bible is a bunch of made up stories. He tries to remain impartial but just can't. Beside that he's a great teacher, very knowledgeable. Funny at times. Don't see how you can fail his class short of giving zero effort. Laid back guy from L.A. describes him best.

He is a good professor. Just make sure you do your homework and show up to class. The entire course is only 100 points so you have to do everything and do it well. The 3 tests are worth the most. You have homework, but not everyday. He gives you a syllabus that lines out everything for the semester. He also loves to joke around while teaching.

Excellent Professor. Great seminar discussion leader. If you come to class, keep up with the readings, and participate you will be fine. Makes you work for it but doesn't want anyone to fail.

Great professor. Does NOT hate Christians but will challenge ANY beliefs you have. Fairly heavy courseload but keeping up and paying attention to lectures/taking good notes will almost guarantee an A

10/10 recommend him to anyone! He truly cares about his students, while there are class reading assignments, they are only to benefit you. The essays can be difficult, but only if you do not spend the adequate time necessary to do well--do not try to B.S. him on work. Participate in class and it will be an enjoyable experience!

He is a great teacher but if you don't speak up the first week of class he won't call on you much during open discussion. Tough grader on the papers. He want's master level papers in a class for bachelors

All you have to do in this class is participate and do your homework. Professor Deitrick is very knowledgeable and his lectures are really really interesting. Be open-minded and don't take offense for anything he says. Participate in class discussions, I can't stress this enough!!

he really cares about his students. he does get off topic easily so you don't end up covering everything in the unit. grade made up of midterm final 3 quizzes and a 6 page paper. STAY ON TOP OF YOUR READINGS. what he talks about in class isnt always on the quizzes. dont let the scary reviews scare you from this class but be ready for a challenge

I loved this class so much. He has clear grading rubrics on essays. Homework due every day before your class, but it's usually pretty short. Professor Deitrick usually hints at a "pop" quiz before you have one, but not always so stay on your readings. You also definitely have to read because some questions on the quiz aren't talked about in class.

Tough, but he's awesome. He's good at lecturing and knows his stuff. Do your reading and be prepared for pop quizzes, they are very random. Tests are multiple choice but can be difficult to study for, he likes being mysterious, "You should be studying everything!" As long as it's clear you're putting effort into his class, he's pretty cool.

Dr. Deitrick slays. He is clearly passionate about what he's teaching and knows his stuff. The only thing I would say is he is a harsh grader and not very forgiving if you miss class for personal issues. Also, weird hand gestures. Overall a friendly guy if you're an engaged student, which I totally respect.

He is a very strict professor! Make sure to always be on time. He can be understanding if a personal issue comes up just email him. Try to stay on his good side! Pop quizzes! Participate in class and be sure to read thats how you get on his good side!

The class was one of my favorite studies because of him. I will say that there are daily questions that are due the next class but its only a few questions. All quizzes are online that you can take twice and it's also open book. the class is lecture heavy but if you take notes during class with your textbook + do the daily questions you'll be fine.

Class isn't entirely difficult if you do the reading and have very good study habits, but if you don't prepare well, it will 100% be your most difficult class. Avoid his class if you're sensitive and refuse to be wrong. He is very callous and will probably say something that might offend you (it's a religion class, so duh).

It's as easy as the amount of effort you put in to it. His class is very lecture heavy, but he requires a reading every day so that we can discuss, and he can tell when you haven't read. He loosened up at the end of the semester, but our class also had his highest attendance rate and participated in discussion. Come prepared and you should do fine

I didn't like him at first, but it gets better once you learn his teaching style Come to class having already read the readings and take notes bc he quizzes over what yall talk about in class. He is willing to work with you if he sees you actually putting effort in. Overall a very interesting class.
